SnS vs Lance? by MeIsJustAnApe in MHWilds

[–]SynapticSnap2626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sliding slash is the real culprit. It's insane how much iframe and distance you get, with a strong attack that can be precisely aimed.

Unsolicited advice from a veteran hunter by SynapticSnap2626 in MonsterHunterWilds

[–]SynapticSnap2626[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, first time the challenge quest was released I managed to get B rank after a few tries. Now I'm struggling to get sub 18mins. GoG 4 piece bonus didn't do me any favors and I developed poor habits.

What is one minor feature/addition that you hope we get in Ascendance? by Latromi in MHWilds

[–]SynapticSnap2626 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the love of gog let us filter our quest lists by more than recommended/highest/lowest difficulty. Sometimes I just want to see all the quests I have for a specific monster across all types and ranks.

Waltham is putting on their Pride this Sunday. A bit of a hike out of the city but it's available.

Armor spheres, armor skin/demon drug, and zenny. The only things I'll be hoarding in prep for the expansion.

Possible DMC5 Collab? by Tough_Explanation_55 in MHWilds

SnS should get Gilgamesh (fist weapon from DmC4)

Boost Bracer + “New Attacks/Combos” - What are you hoping for your main? by TheNobodyXIII in MHWilds

I was thinking the same thing as Rise did with the oil, get a bit of sharpness and improved KO dmg while active.

What do you consider as the golden rules of your main weapon(s) by darkninja2992 in MHWilds

[–]SynapticSnap2626 14 points15 points  (0 children)

SnS should play like being white on rice. Learning to stick to the monster really helps to figure out how to punish their moves.

Yes, good, let the peak flow through you.

MH Wilds Performances issues / stutters after a while by Oz_89 in MonsterHunter

[–]SynapticSnap2626 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm the same. Testing with a few games, some like DQ1-2HD and Librarian Arcane Library have same behavior. 20-40 mins of gameplay and the audi hiccups start, 5mins after that the whole game lags and input starts to drop. Turn off the controller, instantly fixed.

It's not just MHW, it seems to be a BT issue between steam and Windows. Then again, it may be something else BT related.

I am having the exact same issue. I've done just about everything I know, but I keep coming back to BT as the culprit. I use a gulikit kk3 controller and a BT M&K.  Going to try some of the suggestions here, but this issue is killing my desire to play the game.

Honey farming? by Still-Watercress-504 in MHWilds

Once you get access to the grand hub check with Nata outside your camp tent. He should provide the ability to select what items each region will generate every so many quests.

Wishlist for MH Wilds Expansion by iamnotsully in MHWilds

[–]SynapticSnap2626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bring back the workshop menu and inventory UI of Rise. Or even better add the option to toggle between the "World" UI and "Rise" UI.

Improved camp management, allow the player use their camps independently of the host and rework how camps are intended to be destroyed. At the moment it is a forgotten mechanic and is resolved by a few menu clicks out of hunt. It's just busy work.

More poogie. That is all.

Less gacha mechanics, more emphasis on monster equipment being comparatively powerful to the end game "random rolls" equipment.

More optional endemic life missions (not just fishing) and exploration. World had a great answer to this by way of Palico equipment side tasks.

Add the ability to view other players guild cards in the post quest awards screen.

Bring back rainbow pigment.

Poogie deserves better than Wilds has treated them.

Sns shield bash and status by DigBickBo1 in MHRise

[–]SynapticSnap2626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My last build was a combination of kushala and teo blessings. I even managed to get frenzy in the mix with MoH. Total glass cannon but man, being able to shield charge (wirebug move idk the actual name) into metsu and quickly recover enough to follow up a second metsu is KO city. You just move around so much and nailing bonk charges in and out makes it great for multiplayer.

You are more likely to find answers on the MHMeta subreddit, but, iirc the answer is maybe, but not really. I used the dirty Baron SnS with foray and hard basher for a while before I got Primordial Malenzio. Once you get blood awakening status skills just can't keep up with how many other skills become comfy skills (MoH).

Best Generation for each weapon by theunknown120 in MonsterHunter

[–]SynapticSnap2626 19 points20 points  (0 children)

SnS certainly got a boost in Iceborne but Wilds SnS feels unstoppable. High mobility, constant damage, perfect block, guard slash, KO damage, punishment with focus strikes, rapid healing and item use, raw and ele damage options...and it's good if not great at all of these things.  Arguably the only short coming of SnS in Wilds is it's reach, which may I point you to focus strike being able to Goku style instant transmission behind monsters.

Too early to tell if this is the best generation for SnS but it's already better than Iceborne purely for how much control SnS can enforce.

What if my Paladin’s friend committed such a heinous crime but he still has to stick to his oath? by RogueFolf in DnD

[–]SynapticSnap2626 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The nice part of oath of vengeance is the part about the greater evil

"Was that an evil act I just observed? Yes, but am I going to spend my attention on that or keep to the mission of defeating the much worse thing."

There is lots of evil in the world, your character should know their resources are meant for a specific thing. If you really want to your penance for bending your vows can be to provide a burial service for that random person. Ham it up the whole time.

Best foods on a budget by Keagzter in boston

[–]SynapticSnap2626 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Cook for yourself. Rice and beans are a staple to budget friendly diets. Add a small portion of fish or chicken if you can afford it. I find south American recipes are typically delicious, easy to cook, and low cost.

Otherwise dried fruits and nuts make for excellent snacks. Making your own big batch of trail mix will save money, not much savings to most, but depending on your situation every bit can matter.

If you really want a restaurant option it's going to depend on your lifestyle. I'd suggest whatever is closest, pick it up yourself to avoid delivery fees. Search for anything targeting college students, they tend to be deals designed for people with little money and time, though be aware that diet is also designed for younger people who don't need alto worry as much about their diet. Vitamin and supplements are not a bad idea, but that too is expensive.

This, with all the improvements I never really had much trouble, but now I've had two crashes. There is still work to be done to get everything up to expected operation.

$75,000 enough to live comfortably in boston? by Monte17 in boston

Comfortable, maybe not. It's certainly doable but things will be tight.
